Summary

Researchers investigated the enrichment and concentration of microplastics in drinking water treatment sludge, building on prior evidence that treatment processes remove up to 93% of microplastics from source water and thereby accumulate them in sludge byproducts. The study developed and evaluated methods for isolating and characterizing microplastics from this underexplored but potentially significant secondary pollution reservoir.

Study Type Environmental

Previous studies illustrate a removal of microplastics (MP) during drinking water treatment by up to 93 Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/558679/document
